REQUEST FOR EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
BATHYMETRIC SURVEY OF ELEYELE, AWBA AND IITA DAMS & DAM SAFETY BASEMENT OF AWBA AND IITA DAMS
ISSUED DATE: THURSDAY 4TH JULY, 2019
1.0. BACKGROUND
Ibadan, the capital city of Oyo State and the third largest metropolitan area in Nigeria, after Lagos and Kona, is highly exposed to flooding. The city has a population of around 6million and a growth rate of 3.4%. It is the largest metropolitan geographical area in West Africa (1,190 sq mi or 3,080 km) with a highly built up and dense population.
The city has been experiencing number of flood events the last 50 years (16 major events recorded). Notable of these events, was the Ogumpa disaster of year 1980 which was recorded to have resulted in a death toll of 500 people. The Most recent major flood event took place after a heavy rain downpour occurred August 26, 2011, resulting in the overflow of Eleyele reservoir and causing the death of more than 120 people and serious damage to infrastructure.
A Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA), by the
Oyo State government, and supported by the World Bank, Identified
multiple interconnected factors, contributing to the growing challenges
Ibadan management. Five were retained under the project:
i. Eleyele dam safety (dam currently used for water supply storage)
ii. Ibadan city drainage
iii. Solid waste management (SWM)
iv. Land use planning; and
v. Flood control asses management
Given the limited project funds and weak absorptive capacity by the Oyo State Government, the above issues were prioritized and ranked by importance and urgency. While the project address deficit in sector knowledge and institutional capability under all of the above issues, it only finance physical investments aimed at restoring the Eleyele dam safety and improving the Ibadan city drainage according to a clearly investment hierarchy
The Ibadan Urban Flood Management project (IUFMP) aims in the short term, to rehabilitate key infrastructure of Ibadan City, Especially those destroyed by August 26, 2011 floods, and in the medium term, develop a long-term flood risk management, and providing enough flexibility in the project design to make changes based on learning. The project will also support capability building for flood risk management in the city of Ibadan. It will reinforce Oyo state government’s early warning and response capabilities and leverage existing World Bank projects in Oyo State in support of the IUFMP.
The Project development Objectives is to improve the capability of Oyo State to effectively manage flood risk in the city of Ibadan. The project was designated to keep a good bane between urgent post disaster needs (dredging, re-constructional support, upgrading existing and building new infrastructure to ungraded service and mitigate future risk).
